Hydo-Lay was to have played A. E. Carey at Kowloon Docks yesterday, but the tic was postponed as the green was not in a fit condition for play.
A very heavy shower fell at Soo- kunpoo just before 5 p.m. yesterday. but by then Flocher, Coates, J K Henson and W. K. Way were already on their way down to the Indian It.C., and it was decided to wall a feny minutes to see how the green would turn out. The players' optimisan was rewarded; at 6.45 pm. the water hind soaked in and play was then com- menced.
Fincher and Coates had
JI very close game all the way, the former winding out by 21-17. The green played surprisingly well in spite of the early rain If anything. It was on the fast side, especially towards the cloning atage of the match.
Fincher preferred the long heads, in which he almost invariably scored, while Contes liked the short ones.
